So either Zac Efron is making a wise career decision or shooting himself in the foot.
In the Footloose, that is.
Speaking with EW, Efron said he pulled out (heehee) of the dancing remake because he didn’t want to be typecast as “that musical guy,” saying, “I’m sure Footloose would have been a huge challenge…but the actors that I love and the actors that work really hard in this industry are always shaking things up, trying new genres, acquiring new skill sets. That’s what’s always going to appeal to me: the unknown.”
Instead Efron is flexing his acting chops in a flick called The Death & Life of Charlie St. Cloud in which he plays “a young man who takes a job as a cemetery caretaker where his younger brother has recently been buried. He has weekly meetings with his deceased sibling and begins a romantic relationship with a young woman believed to be missing in a sailing accident. He’s not sure if she is real or an apparition.”
Hmmm, that smacks of I Know Who Killed Me…and we all know how well that panned out for one Miss LiLo!
